Primary research interests are social cognitive phenomena underlying stereotyping, prejudice, and discrimination. I am currently exploring: 1) factors that moderate decisions to confront prejudice, 2) the role of situational power – outcome control—in promoting and maintaining gender and ethnic biases, and 3) the activation and application of implicit (i.e., unconscious) attitudes and stereotypes in social judgment.
